One of the things I'm adamant about is that it's not really worth the investment of time and effort if very few people are going to pay attention - so promoting my tweets is going to be important.
If we ever do get our plasma screen then it will have an obvious and immediate benefit - but I want the impact to go a little further.
For instance, our medical faculty has several plasma screens (including one in the library) which don't really get updated - I'm trying to see if they'll insert my Twitter feed onto their screens.
I'm now including a link to my feed on all of my work emails, which will get it a little bit of exposure to people who are already on Twitter.
I'll be giving a lecture to all of our Year 3 medical students in a few weeks - I'll try and drop a mention of it into the presentation somehow - and I may well make the link visible at some point in training sessions I run throughout the next academic year.
Finally, I want to use it as just one part of the outreach programme the library wants to run with clinical teams in the hospital - which will have the added benefit that I can tailor it to suit the needs and interests of any teams that we work with.
Ahhh, it all sounds so easy ;o)
